Abstract: A method for determining the integrity of a received signal in a frequency tracking environment so that a determination can be made whether Automatic Frequency Control (AFC) can be utilized. Several samples of the frequency are taken (205). At least one statistic based on these frequency samples is calculated for use in determining whether the received signal may be used for AFC operation. These statistics may include, for example, the mean, the mean deviation, the standard deviation, and the variance of the measured frequency. A strong signal limit and a weak signal limit are used to determine whether AFC operation should be disabled. If the calculated statistic is less than the strong signal limit (210) then AFC operation is enabled. If the calculated statistic is also greater than the weak signal limit (220) then AFC operation is disabled (225). This allows the receiver to continue AFC operation until the signal level is so weak as to cause erroneous frequency measurements. If the calculated statistic is between the strong signal limit (210) and the weak signal limit (220) then the signal strength is tested (230). If the signal strength is below a minimum value then AFC operation is enabled but if the signal strength is above this minimum value then AFC operation is disabled because a strong interfering signal may be present.

Abstract: L'invention porte sur un procédé et un appareil réduisant le délai d'attente pendant le déroulement d'un jeu à plusieurs joueurs utilisant un réseau d'ordinateurs. Une base de données principale représente le modèle universel du jeu tandis qu'un serveur d'événements principal met en séquences les données entrantes des utilisateurs ou les événements pour mettre à jour la base de données principale. Le serveur d'événements principal et la base de données principale sont initialement localisés dans un noeud particulier. Un noeud sur deux utilisés par un participant au jeu dispose d'un serveur d'événements asservi et d'une base de données. Les serveurs d'événements asservis sont responsables de la mise à jour de leur base de données locale asservie, de la transmission d'événements entre leur noeud local et le serveur principal d'événements, et de la transmission d'événements en provenance ou a destination des autres serveurs asservis. Selon le procédé présenté, on procède à l'identification du joueur qui dans le jeu joue un rôle requérant le délai d'attente le plus court de tous les rôles, et à celle du noeud du réseau qu'utilise ledit joueur. Le serveur d'événements principal et la base de données principale sont ensuite transférés sur ce noeud par transformation du statut du serveur asservi dudit noeud en statut de serveur principal. Une fois le serveur principal transféré, les autres serveurs asservis peuvent établir une liaison directe avec le nouveau serveur principal d'événements.

Abstract: Objective lenses (e.g., for microscopy), and adapters for
such lenses, are disclosed providing adjustability of the
amount of spherical aberration imparted to an image by an
objective lens due to variations in cover glass thickness. The
adapter can be axially inserted imagewise of the objective
lens, or between a first objective lens and a second objective
lens of an objective lens system. The adapter comprises an
axially movable lens group comprising a cemented lens including
a negative lens and a positive lens and a cemented surface
having negative refractive power. Spherical aberration of the
objective lens is adjusted by axially moving the movable lens
group. Where r 1  is the curvature radius of the cemented
surface, n P  is the refractive index of the positive lens, n N  is
the refractive index of the negative lens, the lens satisfies
the condition  |n N  - n P )/r 1 | < 0.3 .

Abstract: Clicks in voice and music signals are removed by
detecting and interpolating the click. The use of a
permanently set threshold value above the peak value of
the audio signal is known for detecting the clicks, and
interpolation carried out on the basis of the sample
values before and after a click is known for filling them
in. Disadvantages of these methods are, on the one hand,
that many clicks do not have a larger amplitude than the
peak signal and therefore remain undetected, and, on the
other hand, interpolation is a highly complex procedure
and is limited to a maximum click density. The invention
provides for an error signal (e n ) to be determined by
adaptive filtering (AF). A sample value is designated as
distorted in the input signal (x n ) if the absolute
instantaneous value in the error signal (e n ) exceeds a
dynamically adapted threshold value. The output signal of
the adaptive filtering (y n ) is used as a substitute value
for the sample value designated as distorted,
specifically both in the case of the signal which is
output and in the input values of the adaptive filtering.

Abstract: A telecommunications system and method is disclosed
in which a high-availability intelligent node maintains
the synchronization of data between various nodes by
utilizing both an index manager to administer and manage
indices associated with the location of stored data and
a data transfer function (DTF) to manage persistent
dynamic data updates between nodes. For data updates, a
DTF batch transfer function, receives, from the index
manager, the data update information and stores the entry
in a buffer, which is then forwarded to a DTF batch
transfer function residing on another (standby) node.
The DTF batch transfer function residing on the non-master
node receives the message buffer from the master
DTF batch transfer function and stores the values in the
indexed memory location specified for that entry. In
addition, at startup or reinitialization of the nodes, a
DTF bulk transfer function on both the master and standby
nodes can be used to achieve synchronization of data.

Abstract: A signal processing circuit is provided for an electro-optic probe,
which is used to perform testing of a printed-circuit board for high-speed
processing. Herein, a head portion of the electro-optic probe is mainly
constructed by an electro-optic crystal (e.g., Bi 12 SiO 20 ), a multilayer
dielectric mirror and a metal pin. When the metal pin is brought into
contact with a signal line laid on the printed-circuit board, an electric field
is caused to occur at the metal pin and is connected with the electro-optic
crystal. Due to Pockel's effect, a birefringence ratio of the electro-optic
crystal is varied in response strength of the connected electric field. So,
when a laser beam is incident on the electro-optic crystal, it is changed in
polarization and is reflected by the multilayer dielectric mirror. The
reflected laser beam is split into two beams, which are then converted to
electric signals. An amplification circuit performs differential
amplification on the electric signals output from the electro-optic probe.
An analog-to-digital conversion circuit converts output of the amplification
circuit to digital data. In order to improve amplification efficiency for
output of the electro-optic probe, an optimum frequency band is set to the
amplification circuit while an optimum sampling timing is set to the
analog-to-digital conversion circuit. The optimum frequency band and
optimum sampling timing are determined such that output of the analog-to-digital
conversion circuit becomes maximal.
